You can achieve the retirement lifestyle you envision if you take the time to set your goals, make a plan and commit to it. Your group retirement plan makes it easy for you to reach your goals with the following advantages:

  • Generally lower investment management fees (IMFs) - The impact of this difference in the growth of your investment could be significant over an extended investment period. Take a look at the difference in the growth of your investment with your lower IMFs over 10 and 20 year investment periods.
  • Growth of $50,000 investment
    (The values shown in this example are for illustrative purposes only)

  • No loads - Your group retirement plan has no front or back-end loads.
  • No minimum contribution required.
  • Immediate tax savings on contributions via payroll deduction.
  • Interfund transfers at no cost, from one fund to another within your group retirement plan.
  • Two ways for you to access information about your retirement plan:
    1. Call Access Line, our interactive voice-response (IVR) phone system, at 1 800-724-3402 from anywhere in North America. Access Line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
    2. Or use GRS Access, our transactional website, at www.grsaccess.com. At GRS Access you can review your account and make investment changes.

What do you need to do?
  • If you are not already a member of your group retirement plan, contact your plan administrator today. Sign up so you can enjoy the advantages outlined above.
  • If you are already a member, congratulations as you are on your way to the retirement you envision. But don't forget - by increasing your contributions, topping up your annual contribution or transferring assets from other plans, you can ensure you are getting the most from your retirement savings.
